too hot

Anyone using HIDS on their Corrado??? I have done a search and there seems to be no comparisons. What I would like to know is what is the best option for the Corrado. Does the uprated headlight loom and bulbs give as good performance as HIDS. Do HIDS run hotter than normal bulbs and if so will this effect the plastic reflectors? Price wise whats the difference as far as I can see HIDS seem to be more expensive. What about MOT time should HIDS not have a self levelling device/function or is that only fitted as standard? Any advice would be appreciated :thumbleft:

Yeah I could be in for this as my only trip out this year

Very nice welcome to the Silver rado club:thumbleft:

No reserve !!!! Wiinning!!!!!

Love your style man,just whip the engine out!!!!:bonk::bonk:

Yeah the MT90 was not cheap £14 a quart,cost me £30 all in. Tried OPIE oils but they wanted too much for delivery etc!!

I`m waiting for my Redline MT90 coming then I`m doing it too !!

I will make it next time round defo. Paintshop phoned today trying to take Corrado a week early!!!! Next week is soon enough once I`ve got my last few jobs done before then:thumbleft:

Yeah cheap and cheerful I`ve been using them for years:thumbleft:

Black into silver looks good,guessing that black into grey would not be to far away:thumbleft:

Just buy the whole unit as it comes. Emu`s is a bargain :thumbleft:

Well after reading Jim`s how to guide in The Sprinter,I decided to change my aux drive belt!!! Another relatively easy job completed in about half an hour!!!! Surprising to note that the replacement belt I got from Euro Car Parts was made by Continental and cost £18. The old belt I took off was a VW belt but had Continental manufacturing details on it. Exactly the same but one with the Vw lettering on it one without,priced accordingly by VW :bonk:

I can now answer my own question,2litres and by all accounts Redline MT90 oil.:cheers: Jim beat me to it by seconds lol

Does anyone know off hand how much gearbox oil is in a VR6 gearbox(manual) not auto yet !!! I looking to change mine in the coming week and was wondering how much I need to refill it?? Any recommendations as to what`s the best oil to use??

Yeah thats the one:thumbleft:

Theres already a thread running about your car !!!!! You obviously don`t know that yet :thumbleft: Welcome to the forum btw!!

I knew this was the car you were off to buy !!!!! Looks good as you say a lot of potential and a nice interior!!!!

It is the Golf VR engine thats been fitted.The guy selling didnt build it he swapped it for a MK2 VR6 Golf. It is a very tidy car and is up for sale elsewhere for £3000.The paintwork is perfect---thats who is going to be doing mine !!!

Fitted new fuel filter,an easy job made difficult by VW`s stupid wee hose clamps. Whats the point in these clamps and how the hell do you get them off easily???? Replaced by ubiquitous jubilee clips.:thumbleft:

Woo hoo Corrado no2 could be happening !!!! Well it will be two on the drive its really about no.8 now !!!!

Any more info on this ?? Do you still have it for sale?? P/M `d you !!!

If its sorned and kept of the road you dont need insurance,therefore being off road it doesnt need taxed. If its stolen or mysteriously catches fire you will be covered by insurance whether taxed or not

Cool thanks for that.I`m looking at shiply just now waiting for a comparison price:thumbleft:

Whereabouts in the UK are you ??

Whats wrong with it that you need to break it??
